To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The Baltimore Annual Conference, but a short time before, suspended one of its ministerial mem- bers for failing to manumit certain slaves received by him through a recent marriage. On appeal to the General Conference, after a debate of intense acrimony, the action of the lower conference was sustained, followed at the same session by legislation, of a provisional nature, which was equivalent to a recognition of the rights of that portion of the church adhering to slavery to detach itself from ...the parent church organization . Cartwright opposed this with all the intensity of his nature, but on a vote of 110 to 68 was defeated — his four associate delegates from the Illinois conference voting with the majority. He took the position that no portion of the church had the constitutional right to secede, and that, after having so done, no rights could attach by which the seceding element could justly claim possession of any of the property of the original organization. Indeed, his position here was, in an important sense, anabgous to that of our general government in its contention with the south over the doctrine of secession which led to the Civil War.
